Revision as of 14:25, 24 February 2009

My Questions yet to be answered (thanks Emmanovi)

  1. Why do caged dwarfs starve to death in the prison? Shouldn't they be fed? Is this a bug?
  2. What is a tracker skill? My queen showed up and she has this skill.
  3. How many spaces does a catapult have to be in order to not scare the civilians away if they are shooting at goblins?
  4. How do pressure plates and water work really work? If I have a pressure plate that activates at 5, why doesn't it ever "reset" if the water goes below 5?
    I'd like a pressure plate that closes a floodgate when the water reaches 5, then opens when it goes below 5. I build the pressure plate to activate from 5-7 (resets is selected), link it to an open floodgate, and then nothing happens. Even when the water is 7, the floodgate doesn't close.
  5. The graphics don't work for me. Why? I have the files in the folder, edited my init.txt, and still no good! Why does the text get smaller when I make the grid larger?


Comments/suggestions

  1. Somewhere in the wiki it says that having a king prevents the traders from coming. I have a Queen and the Dwarf traders still come...
  2. Why list all the deceased on the units page? Excluding them would make the list easier to use/more informative. I don't really care that I've killed Xing bob the kobold or the fact that I have 200 cats. I'd much rather a quick list, perhaps even excluding the 200 tame animals so I can quickly look at hostiles. Maybe an ability to hide them from the list?
  3. Can we build buildings like selecting things? For instance, if I want to build lots of doors, pick one corner and then the other and then select the different doors?
  4. Often times, price and not distance is the determining factor for placing furniture. How about including sort by price in the view?
  5. Why can't you train other animals (fox/wolf) to be hunting/war animals?
  6. Why don't levers show what they are linked to? That would be a nice option to see.
  7. Why do dwarfs wander halfway across the map for a stone when one is right next to the workshop/catapult? It looks like the search algorithm just looks for the closest, not the closest walkable distance. For instance, if I have a catapult next to a wall and one stone on the other side of the wall but one three tiles away on the catapult, it will walk all the way around the wall (distance of 20 or more) just to get THE ONE.
  8. It would be nice to know what killed the dwarfs/about their skills after they die. Can this be in the epitaph on the coffin? For example a Thikot, a legendary mason, dabbling consoler killed by a Carp on 22 Sid 214 .
  9. Why do dead dwarfs still show up in the Justice tab? Isn't death the ultimate justice?
